Memphis Depay scored his first ever Premier League goal and Wayne Rooney added his first of the season as Manchester United beat Sunderland 3-0 to go top of the standings on Saturday.

United applied plenty of early pressure at Old Trafford, but only found a way through in the fourth minute of first-half stoppage time.

A 35-meter pass by Daley Blind found Juan Mata at the back post and the Spaniard’s cutback was steered in by Depay, who joined from PSV Eindhoven in June.

Rooney had another United newcomer, Anthony Martial, to thank for his goal, just after the re-start. The French teenager went on a clever run before whipping back a cross that struck Rooney’s knee and landed in the net.

Mata added United’s third in the 90th.
